Yeah, everything being black on modern motherboards might look cool with RGB lighting, but makes it harder to work on. I like the older green PCBs with white PCI slots.

I also lament the demise of color coded connectors at the back. I knew to plug my speakers into the green 3.5mm jack. Now everything is black, so I need to look at the manual again to see which of the 5 connectors is the right one.

Me too. All my computers have Noctua fans and I don't care in the slightest that they're the same colour as my parents' sofa in the 1980s.

I have a couple of their screwdrivers too. I'm with with brown.

I'm at an age where I feel the same about many things in life. Black, sleek and minimalist is so boring and blends into the background.

Just this morning I purchased these car mats for my black, korean-spec-tinted people carrier electric van:

Preference. Some people like their PCs to look like a rainbow alien LED spaceship, others would go for vanta black if they could get it

Agreed. It's like Tatooine themed from Star Wars

Black is some weird masculine thing where it all has to be “tactical”
